The 27-year-old deputy was shot to death on Monday while responding to a call about a disturbance at a Pep Boys on Folsom Boulevard.

Two days after losing one of their own, law enforcement officials have come up with a way to help their citizens grieve: spool after spool of blue ribbon.

“To visually, in their front yard, show their support for our law enforcement who are out their patrolling and putting their lives on the line every single day,” said Maria Kniestedt, a spokeswoman for the city of Rancho Cordova.

A memorial popped up today on Folsom Boulevard Wednesday, where Stasyuk was shot Monday. His death has hit the community hard. Kniestedt told CBS13 the city has received several calls asking what they can do to show support.

“Our community is hurting,” Kniestedt said. “People kept asking us what more can we do.”

That’s when a local florist store called Roses and Bows stepped up at a neighborhood watch meeting this week.

“And the owner there said, ‘Tell people to come to my location and I will have bows for them and they can take them and decorate their front yards and show support,’” Kniestedt explained.

Starting Thursday morning, the blue ribbon will be available at 11 different locations in Rancho Cordova and Sacramento County. And all of it is free of charge.
